Classic Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients

- ½ tsp salt, plus additional to taste
- 7 oz. brick cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Prepare pasta according to package directions. Salt to taste.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in flour to create a roux. Whisk in whole milk, raise heat to medium-high and cook until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in ½ tsp salt.
